As I sit here typing this, the phrase ‘That was the week
that was’ comes to mind because this week has absolutely flown by but it has
been a very busy week in school. We have started our ski trips and we have been
holding the auditions for ‘Talent Night’ and it has made the half term break
just seem like a distant memory but I hope you all had a pleasant break.
The ski trips have been very popular with most children so
far. The actual ‘Snow Centre’ is amazing and when you are inside it you do feel
like you in an actual ski resort and not Hemel Hempsted. It certainly fulfils
the brief of giving the children an outdoor and adventurous activity and
allowing the children to experience something we could not provide at school.
For some children it was a totally new experience and although a couple of
children did find being in the cold challenging it means they will be better
prepared to cope with it the next time they have to face it.
Although spring is on its way we ae still experiencing
winter weather and with it all the bugs and viruses that go with it. My
secretaries have informed me that we have received a few phone calls from
parents informing them that as their children have had colds they will not be
able to do outdoor PE. PE is a core part of the curriculum and if a child is
able to attend school they should be able to take part in the whole curriculum
and that includes PE. Obviously if there are medical reasons for a child being
unable to take part we will respect them e.g a broken limb or if we receive
guidance from a medical professional.
As I stated earlier we have been holding the auditions for
‘Talent Night ‘this week. They are nearly all compete and I will be sending
letters to all those who are taking part early next week. I always let the
families of children in the show purchase tickets first but after that we open
them to the whole school. More details about the tickets will come out next
week but remember to keep the 12th March free in your diary. We only
hold these shows once every two years and they are always great nights.
Have a great weekend and I will see you all next week.
